SUSTAINABILITY
Kia Sportage Hybrid Plug-in Hybrid

Hybrid vehicles are paving the way toward a cleaner future. The combination of gas and electricity at work will have you eager to press down the accelerator and lead the pack. More power and greater efficiency are a dynamic duo. Which configuration will you drive?

Adventure, Recharged

Having the strength for the road ahead enables you to get out and explore, all while knowing you're creating fewer emissions than traditional models. While hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles operate the same, these vehicles operate differently.

HEV models seamlessly switch between gas and electric power for everyday efficiency without ever needing to plug in, while PHEV models offer a longer all-electric drive range and the flexibility to recharge for even more electric-only commuting. Let's see how these configurations compare numbers-wise!

Kia Sportage HEV
Kia Sportage PHEV
Engine 1.6L Turbo 1.6L Turbo
Battery Voltage 270V 360V
Combined Horsepower 227 HP 261 HP
Torque 195 lb-ft 258 lb-ft

Regardless of which configuration you choose, you can enjoy the enhanced traction capabilities that comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD). So, go ahead and take the scenic route home--your Kia SUV is always up for the job.

Fuel Your Next Chapter

One reason HEV and PHEV vehicles are so popular is because of their massive boost in fuel efficiency. With the ability to use renewable electrical energy in addition to gasoline allows you to travel farther distances with fewer stops at the pump. This reduced need for fossil fuels is something your wallet and the environment can smile about.

Since the Sportage HEV and the Sportage PHEV use electrical energy differently, each configuration has its own estimated efficiency and driving range.

Kia Sportage HEV
Kia Sportage PHEV
Estimated Fuel Efficiency 6.1 city/6.3 highway L/100 km* 2.7 city/3.0 highway Le/100 km*
Estimated Electrical Driving Range Not rated for electric-only driving 55 km*

The Kia Sportage HEV recharges its electric motor through regenerative braking, capturing brake friction and converting it into energy. The Sportage PHEV does the same but also requires routine plug-in charging. With an available 240V Level 2 charger, it can fully recharge in about two hours.

INTERIOR
Kia Sportage Hybrid Plug-in Hybrid

Your vehicle's cabin should serve as your personal oasis during your daily commute. It's your escape from the hustle and bustle after a long day at the office and a place where you and your loved ones can reconnect at the end of the day. A lush interior will help everyone enjoy the journey to the fullest while they ride in style. Here's what you can expect to find inside your next favorite Kia SUV.

Where Every Day Feels Like First Class

Whether it's the morning school run or a long road trip, the Kia Sportage HEV/PHEV transforms every ride into a retreat. From the moment you settle in, the cabin wraps you in an experience that's both refined and refreshingly thoughtful. Little touches go a long way--and this SUV delivers them in spades.

Standard and available features include:

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control, so both driver and front passenger can fine-tune their own temps
  • Rear-seat AC vents, keeping back-row passengers comfortable on warmer days
  • Heated and ventilated front seats, for year-round coziness and cooling on command

Across all four trim levels, the Sportage HEV/PHEV features eco-conscious synthetic leather upholstery that's stylish and soft to the touch. For an elevated look, select trims add a premium quilted texture--blending sustainability with sophistication.

Room for What Matters Most

From morning drop-offs to weekend errands, you need an SUV that keeps up with your rhythm--and gives everyone their own little bubble of breathing room. The Kia Sportage HEV/PHEV delivers that with ease, offering a cabin so thoughtfully laid out, it feels more like a personal lounge than another vehicle interior. And when equipped with the available panoramic sunroof, the entire space feels even more open and airy.

Here's a closer look at how the space breaks down:

First Row
Second Row
Headroom 1,006 mm (39.6 in.) 993 mm (39.1 in.)
Legroom 1,052 mm (41.4 in.) 1,050 mm (41.3 in.)
Hip room 1,392 mm (54.8 in.) 1,357 mm (53.4 in.)
Shoulder room 1,461 mm (57.5 in.) 1,412 mm (55.6 in.)

Passenger space is just the start--you'll get up to 1,119 litres (39.5 cubic feet) of cargo room behind the second row for groceries, gear, or the stroller. Fold down the seats for a max 2,087 litres (73.7 cubic feet) capacity --great for big hauls or getaway bags. And when your hands are full, the available Smart Power Liftgate opens automatically when it senses your key.
